In the 50s, as Mexico undergoes modernisation, Bonfilio asks his father to care for his<br />
family and heads north to make his fortune. Their conflicts are resolved when Bonfilio<br />
returns to say his last goodbye. Lucía, a prostitute, and Demetrio, a gravedigger, meet<br />
one night and their love will only be complete when Demetrio buries her. Don Julio, the<br />
old hacienda owner, is delirious with remorse when Cleotilde, whom he married for<br />
convenience, leaves him.<br />
